My problem with any mail app is that I use folders as a kind 
of knowledge-base of saved tips, and in my current mail app 
(Pegasus Mail in Windows, but it's also a 5-star app under 
WINE) I have more than a gigabyte of stored mail.  I live in 
email many days, and to move to another app is going to be 
extremely painful.  What I need is a mail app that uses a 
database (MySQL?  Interbase?) as the message store so I can 
get at the stored data outside of email.

Any ideas?
